[3.17] Shockwave Cyclone Build (Non-Crit Version) | Occultist | Archnemesis | Path of Exile 3.17
Hey guys, this is the str stacking shockwave cyclone occultist build. Using Replica Alberon's Warpath Boots and this item gives us "Adds 1 to 80 Chaos Damage to Attacks per 80 Strength". We build around this item. We can only deal chaos damage and occulist is a great for choice for that reason. I managed to hit 3114 strenght at level 95.
Build Cost - Hight Budget: +50 ex Split Personality: We can use two of them. One with +str, +life and the other one +str, +int. Check the video or pob to see where you put them. Fortify: I have a Replica Frostbreath with "#% chance to Fortify on Melee hit" mod. You can replace hypothermia with fortify support on your 6 link setup. Lethal Pride: Names or numbers don't matter. Just look for 5% increased Strenght mod. Annoint: I got "Disciple of the Unyielding" because my lethal pride jewel adds 5% increased Strenght mod to this node. Leveling: You have to level up with something else. I recommend you level with spellslinger ed/contagion with 6l blight setup until level 68 or 70. Leveling gems and trees are in the video. PoB: https://pastebin.com/wsuVJjxq Build Video: https://youtu.be/YcOWgo5UG00 Bandits: Kill All 3.16 CHANGES: - Iron Will is now a Keystone Passive on the Passive Skill Tree - Purity of Elements: Aura now grants "You and nearby Allies are Immune to all Elemental Ailments", and "You and nearby Allies gain +20-34% to all Elemental Resistances" (previously 12-27%). Now has a Reservation of 50% (previously 35%). You may run into some problems after the changes. Problem: Since "Iron Will" is a keystone and easily accessible, "Repentance Crusader Gloves" is totaly useless. Solution: Replace it with "Meginord's Vise Steel Gauntlets". Problem: Purity of Elements now has a Reservation of 50% (previously 35%). Solution: We used to have Unbound Ailments linked with Summon Skitterbots. Replace Unbound Ailments with Enlighten (Level 3 should be enough). (Footage is from 3.15) Gear: Gem Setup: Cyclone - Shockwave - Pulverise - Void Manipulation (Awakened) - Damage on Full Life - Hypothermia Vaal Ancestral Warchief - Withering Touch (Divergent) - Multiple Totems - Ancestral Protector Summon Skitterbots - Enlighten (Lvl 3) - Purity of Elements - Blood and Sand Leap Slam - Faster Attacks - Lifetap (Lvl 3) - Summon Stone Golem Immortal Call (Lvl 1) - Cast when Damage Taken - Increased Duration Blood Rage / Precision (Lvl 1) / Enduring Cry Last edited by wishdropper#0634 on Apr 4, 2022, 10:44:16 AM Last bumped on Feb 4, 2022, 2:24:07 PM

Can this be done on a budget? At first glance, the corrupted gear seems optional.

i did not read the patchnotes yet, but this build should be very strong in 3.16?
if you add shapers touch gloves + Geofri's Sanctuary as armour you gain now so much energyshield.. guess you can reach 13k EHP and with this new league mechanic if you corrupt your whole gear with decent modifiers, jesus i will definitive play this build and hope it will work well on the new uber simulacrum or blighted maps |

" the iron will passive is now a keystone in the passive tree, near the life nodes which you take anyway so the glove slot is free.. and the ascendancy vile bastion gives you 10% ES per second when you killed recently and you can get 0,5% chaos dmg leeched as ES from the new masteries so i my eyes shapers touch + geofri is really good combo Last edited by TinderGirl#2907 on Oct 16, 2021, 5:26:12 PM

" how about using facebreaker gloves and going unarmed, does that work for shockwave or not? but yea the iron fortress chest really looks like a better choice and another question, does crit and crit multiplier work on shockwave? because i think about to use crit multi support gem instead of hypothermia i already plan with the new mageblood belt which gives me capped res + 40% reduced ele dmg taken, curse immunity and 56% reduced mana cost.. not sure if i also should use shock or ignite immunity Last edited by TinderGirl#2907 on Oct 17, 2021, 3:43:55 PM

" well lets wait until PoB release to experiment a bit.. but i will grind until i have that belt, it gives me max res and like 400% crit chance.. together with crit chance support + crit multiplier support it could be not that bad and the league mechanic corruptions on each item can also give some nice boost |

What builds can we use for leveling Occult until we can swithc over to Srength stacking?
EDIT: nvm it's shown in the video. However, is Chaosslinger an option to actual start the League with? Otherwise I would start with Exsanguinate to generate Currency. Last edited by Neunzehnhundert93#4648 on Oct 18, 2021, 5:42:12 AM

" Do you have a PoB/tree for it? EDIT: Playing around with the new PoB. Replacing Iron Fortress with Geofriss and Meginords with Shapers Touch gives us around 7k ES. So we would be around 15k EHP in Endgame. But we are loosing about 2kk dps according to PoB Last edited by Neunzehnhundert93#4648 on Oct 19, 2021, 6:06:01 AM

" maybe shapers touch + discipline aura together with iron fortress? and some high energy schild in offhand with spelldmg on it i have seen a other build and he uses battlemage cry in hardcore mode for some really good dps, maybe thats also something to consider.. but not sure how this cry exactly works edit: well it would give around 3k ES but is it worth it.. guess not i will stick with full life and more dmg then.. by the way, how do we regenerate/leech life? ( sry this build is new to me ) Last edited by TinderGirl#2907 on Oct 19, 2021, 10:14:54 AM
